[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Well, I know you say now,
[F]very well done, me old son[E]
But it's [D]hard, you know,
every [Eb]day is a d[D]ark, dark [Am]one
Cos my old friend's [F]here, tug,
tug, tugging at my [E]sleeve
You know he [D]tugged so hard that he
could [Eb]al m[D]ost make me le[F#m]ave
Light up your candles,
[D]into the dark we go[C#]
To [B]be a good night is [C]all
I [B]want [Bm]you know
Light up your candles,
[E]cos here we go[Am]
It's a schlep, this old life
[F]Just one slip and you are gon[E]e
[D]Back into the [Eb]void where
[D]you came [Am]from
You can't light your own way
[F]Through this dark unholy pla[E]ce
[D]Just one candle [Eb]an d a h[D]appy f[F#m]ace
So light it up [D]now
Fill the darkness with your [C#]grace
[B]Just one candle [C]an [B]d a happy [Bm]face
Light it up [E]now
Your happy [Am]face
Yeah, [D]yeah, [C]yeah, yeah, [Bm]yeah
Light it up, I [E]love your happy [Am]face[F][E][D]
[Eb][D][Am][F][E]
[D][Ebdim][Eb][D][Am]
It's too easy somehow,
[F]just grit your teeth and let it go.[E]
[D]Last seduction, [Eb]title destruc[D]tion.[Am]
So what you gonna do now,
[F]with the good life you have fou[E]nd?
[D]Grin and bear it till you're
[Eb]six feet i[D]n the [F#m]ground.
Light up your candles,
[D]into the dark we go[C#]
To [B]be a good man is [C]all I
[B]want [Bm]you know
Light up your candles,
[E]cos here we go[Am][D][C][Bm]
Light it up [E]now, cos here we go
